What do you want to know?
The builtin version of odbc32.dll basically acts as a connection to any underlying unix ODBC (e.g. unixODBC or iODBC; I only have experience of unixODBC). Therefore it basically handles just about anything that the underlying ODBC does. We use it against IBM DB2 databases, and I think we have succeeded (sort of, in the past) against Oracle databases. The problem against MS-SQL and other databases is finding a unixODBC driver.
The other possibility is to use a native Microsoft odbc32.dll and its drivers (if that is legal) and depend upon Wine handling the low-level network stuff etc. I don't personally have any experience of that.
